TMZ sez: Johnny Depp is to produce and star in How the Dead Love, an animated compendium of four Charles Bukowski stories. Gabor Csupo, who hopped ship from The Simpsons to create Rugrats and, just now, direct Bridge to Terabithia is also producing, though nothing is mentioned about the directing duties.
Terabithia and Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys scribe John Stockwell is writing the new script draft.
This is the French poster for Bridge to Terabithia and should you click upon it, it will get much larger.
The monsters here revealed do look quite poor, if you ask me, but they were not revealed in any of the posters so far seen elsewhere around the world. That's why I'm running this odd image: it's just about news.
One of the beasties looks like a Benedict Wong doll in a Parka that's been done up too much.
There's a teaser for you. What does link a DVD of Pixar's short films, the Sin City sequel and Jimmy Kimmel almost getting shot? Well, it also links Bridge to Terabithia, a Honolulu production of the Lion King musical and the long delayed DVD release of Neverwas with Aaron Eckhart, Ian McKellen and Alan Cumming.
Is that enough clues? Do you give up?
Well, the answer lies at The Disney Enquirer. They done the requisite snooping and have dug up a list of recently registered domain names belonging to them there Disney folks.
All very interesting. While we knew that a DVD of Pixar shorts was imminent, it's good to know it's likely coming soon; the Jimmy Kimmel site seems to be set up for a parody of Grey's Anatomy; Sin City 2 has now got it's own DVD-related URL, so somebody must know something about the project that the rest of us - including the cast - don't.
Patiently brace yourself, if you must, for official announcements regarding the above in the coming months.
